It provides excess energy to neighboring homes through Sonoma Clean Energy. Whale season is year round. You can see their migration from the property. Guests love the spacious deck and the opportunity to people watch visitors to Carmet Beach as well as the waves, whales, dolphins, and sea birds from "the good seats." The bird-watching from Spare Time Beach House is excellent. There is a local Bald Eagle that graces Carmet and it's typical to see American White and Brown Pelicans, an array of Hummingbirds, Herons, Egrets, Hawks, Canadian Geese and lots of shorebirds regularly. The property is pesticide-free and proudly becoming a pollinator habitat of California native plants as invasive plants are being removed and replaced.

Spare Time Beach House is set up for vacationing in style and comfort.

Loved the sound of the ocean waves late at night when winding down, very relaxing atmosphere. We appreciate the opportunity to stay and I thank you again for allowing the whole family a wonderful weekend on the beach. P.S. We also got to opportunity to head down to the early morning low tide!

The house has the perfect mix of casual beach vibes with excellent amenities. Everything you need is here, and is in good shape. Beds and couches are comfy and clean.Wasn't sure if being right on the hwy would be too noisy, but you don't notice it when you're inside and the ocean view is sooo worth the slow roll of cars.We especially appreciated how dogs are not only allowed, but approved of, and really added to the pleasure of having our two dogs with us. The fenced rear yard was secure enough to feel ok having them out there. ##### Korey L.

The house has a nice cozy feeling and all of the amenities we could ask for. The location was perfect for enjoying the rugged coastline and taking in picturesque sunsets. We took our dogs to explore Doran Beach, Wright's Beach, and Russian Gulch and they had the time of their lives. My wife and I loved checking out the shops and restaurants as well, all located just a short drive from the property. We are already looking forward to planning another trip and this will be at the top of our list! ##### Gregg S.

Kitchen is well provisioned and we used the BBQ in the back yard. We also did take out a few nights as the town of bodega bay is just a few miles down the road. Sitting on the huge deck was epic and we were able to bring our dog. thanks again. ##### paul n.
